If you're struggling to keep up with customer demands in the hydraulics market, you're not alone. Supply chain delays, increasing order complexity, and pressure to deliver faster are challenging distributors across the industry.
But there's good news: the hydraulics industry is growing, and with the right approach, you can turn these challenges into opportunities.
The global hydraulics market is set to grow from $45.3 billion in 2023 to $54.1 billion by 2028. This growth is driven by real demands: more construction projects, increased material handling needs, and modernizing agricultural equipment.
This industry expansion is creating specific challenges for hydraulics distributors. Order volumes are increasing, but so are expectations.
Customers who previously accepted week-long lead times now need components in days or even hours. They're expanding their operations and can't afford to wait.
For instance, the rise in construction and infrastructure projects means more emergency repairs and urgent maintenance needs. Manufacturing automation is driving demand for precise, high-quality components delivered on strict schedules.
Your customers are facing new challenges:
The industry is changing to meet these needs. New electrohydraulic systems deliver better control and power, while improved seals, coatings, and lubricants are helping customers reduce maintenance needs.
But having access to these solutions is only useful if you can get them to your customers when they need them.
North America remains the largest market for hydraulic equipment, but the Asia-Pacific region is growing fast. This shift means your supply chain needs to be ready for changing market dynamics and potential new opportunities.
The key to growing in this market isn't just about having the right products—it's about having them when your customers need them. Here's what matters:
Many distributors lose customers because they can't deliver components fast enough or struggle with unreliable suppliers. The solution is working with a partner who understands that every order affects customer relationships and treats your business accordingly.
